Info

Harry and Beth wanted a different kind of holiday so they chartered a boat to drop them off on a remote coral island on the Great Barrier Reef. The island was idyllic, surrounded by a wide reef, covered in palms and full of birds and other wildlife. It was small and totally deserted or so they thought. But when things go missing from their camp site and they discover someone else's footprints in the sand this quickly becomes disturbing as they realize the island has a ghost! Inspired by actual events.

Uninhabited Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
atinder Uninhabited (2010) I thought this was going to full on full found footage movies but again was so-what disappointed that it wasn't.Like I said in my last post, i not fan of Mixed of hand held and normal filming, it dose not work for me.I thought this movie sounded great, the idea was really good and the locations was great. There could have done so much more with this movies, it's mind boggling, it kinds slow in places and really predicable in some places. The acting was decent from short cast and for once I actually liked the last scenes of the movie, I thought it was decent end to a worth watching movie. 4 out of 10
infrastruct This movie was flawed by some terrible decisions in the writing. It is not as horrible a film as a lot of people here have made it out to be but I thought it had a number of very disturbing moments, especially in the first 3/4 or so. They just didn't know how to end it. Like a lot of Aussie movies it's a very unconventional film. This one is a peculiar mix of good execution and terrible execution. Personally I liked it much better than any mass-market horror movie I've seen in the last 20 years (like the Scream, Saw and Final Destination franchises which are perfectly executed tripe.)Don't expect it to be a conventional film. The movie was basically ruined by the hamhanded ending but until the end it looked like it was going to be OK. It's almost as if two different writing crews worked on it, one professional and the other made of junior high kids.
targa9 After watching the more highly-produced, space horror flick "Europa Report", I wasn't expecting much from this flick. But these Aussies know how to make B-movies at least better than Americans or Brits. "Wish You Were Here" was also another slow-burn Aussie flick.This film is about a young couple who camp out on an uninhabited island for 10 days. Or so they think it's uninhabited. Unlike "Europa Report", this film throws us a creepy bone every now and then to keep us interested, and the run-in with the Greek fisherman was well-placed and suspenseful actually. The acting by the male was NOT bad; I don't know what these others are talking about. The couple did make some bad choices, but that's the writer's fault, and the choices weren't beyond the pale, since they DID believe some kids were pranking them (after all, if there was something more sinister going on, they would have done it at night).The resolution/wrap-up is a little confusing, and some moments don't work as well as others, but all-in-all, a fairly entertaining and short movie. There are NO cringeworthy moments that I could see.
Avinash Shukla Ever since the tale 'And the sea will tell' by Vincent Bugliosi and Bruce Henderson became a bestseller, numerous attempts have been made to discover the horror behind uninhabited islands. This Australian film comes straight from the director Bill Bennett, who successfully directed his critically and publicly acclaimed flick 'In a Savage Land.' Bennett, however, disappoints this time.Beth (Gerlandine Hakewill) and Harry (Henry James) set off for a vacation to spend an idyllic time at an uninhabited island somewhere in the Coral Sea, off the eastern coast of Australia. Once there, the couple is fascinated by an appealing tropical climate, turquoise waters, white sands and pleasant winds. Led by their basic instincts the two begin combing the island and finally discover an old house and an abandoned grave with a name 'Coral' on it. They also become victims of lunatic shark-hunters, who tie the couple and leave them to die. The couple is however saved by an unseen entity, who forces the lunatics to take to their heels. The apparition's presence in the island is validated by 'her' sobs in the air.Further investigation leads Beth to a diary, which belongs to someone who came to the island long back. The diary accounts the history of island claiming it to be haunted by the spirit of a girl named Coral. The diary says Coral worked for a fishing crew at the island a century ago, and once got a deadly stone fish sting. She was subsequently raped by other men of the crew. Now Coral turned into a ghost and had since been avenging her death by killing anyone who comes for spending vacation in this tropical paradise.The film suffers from lack of content. Since the content is meager, several unnecessary sequences have been added. The photography is great but gets less attention from the director. The director could have used the silence of island for building a great atmosphere, which unfortunately 'Uninhabited' falls short of. The ending is fizzy and doesn't explain much about Beth's future. Harry dies in a jiffy and his part ends abruptly. I don't think its a good idea to be so concise when it comes to direction. I would anytime prefer to read 'And the sea will tell' or watch 'BBC's South Pacific episodes' instead of watching this somewhat childish and awkward creation or film, if this could be called one.
